We've made a few more improvements. Thanks to MCaver for his lightning quick response in uploading the changes.
1) Trailing punctuation (periods, commas, exclamation points, and parentheses) are now properly excluded from the end of "magic links" (text that is automatically linked like www.nwhikers.net/forums). In the rare case you actually want to include the trailing punctuation in the link, use the [url] tag. Let us know if you experience any problems with this.
2) A warning now appears if you are logged out when posting. You also need to enter a name when posting as a guest (just in case you don't see the warning) to prevent accidental guest posting.
3) The FAQ have been updated, plus a few minor skin changes. This is still a work in progress. Let us know if you'd like to see any more changes.
We've added some more goodies based on feedback from last Tuesday's social:
1) You no longer have to scroll back to the top to view the last 24 hours of activity. It is now included in the jumbox at the bottom as the default option. Good suggestion IBEX!
2) We've worked around a Netscape 4 issue that was preventing NS4 users from viewing posts with pictures in them. The side effect is there isn't as much spacing between lines (for NS4 users). We'd rather not support sloooow, outdated, extremely buggy browsers (hint: upgrade from NS4 if at all possible) but since the "Lazy B" is still in the dark ages we are doing our best to accomodate.
3) We've moved the "links" link to the very top of the header. Clicking on that link will take you to the master list of links (which we will eventually get around to updating).
More changes:
1) You can now delete any of your posts (click on the "X" that appears to the top right of your post to delete it). Please don't delete a post if somebody has replied directly to it. If you make a dual post, please delete it!
2) The software now takes you to your post after posting. Please make sure you have not double posted and review your post.
3) Multiple spaces now appear in posts (previously multiple spaces appeared as a single space). On a related note, please don't indent paragraphs with spaces - they don't look good .
4) The problem with attachments displaying in reverse order is now fixed.
